Once Upon an autumn day, br Colorful leaves began to fade br In the midst of a chilly, frosty air br As multitude of trees grew steadily bare. br br Once upon an autumn day, br The whispering breeze was here to stay br Moving aimlessly through the countless trees br Scattering leaves with the greatest of ease. br br Once upon an autumn day, br The leaves whirled freely in every way, br Until at last they came to rest br Finding a haven in which to nest. br br Once upon an autumn day, br The trees were dormant, and the leaves lay br Waiting for the winter snow to fall br To quickly obscure them one and all.br br Joseph T.
